FPeople neogtiate will lawyers too. Many don’t pay fee on time and sometimes we have to write off fee aswell. The top 10% have the privledge to be paid the entire fee in advance and also be paid in lakhs.
Yes, there are dishonest lawyers but that is the case with every single profession. Hospitals forcing patients to stay overnight in order to increase their bills is kind of the same thing, you might say the doctor is not a part of it but in fact they are a part of the system because they order the patient to stay.
Becoming a senior advocate that too who practices in the supreme court is insanely difficult. That is atleast 20 years of being in the profession and having to fulfill so much criteria in order to become one. The senior is comparable to a super specialist doctor in a very expensive private hospital. You might not really need him but you still go to him for your own peace of mind!
Being returned your money when a surgery is not performed is not at all comparable to a lawyer who came to the court with all the paperwork and wasn’t allowed to speak before a judge, he still came and stood there and his resources are being utilised whereas a surgery that didn’t take place means no hospital resources like scheduling a surgeon, bringing in instruments etc were used.
I understand doctors are questioned about the fee but lawyers are too. Sit in a courtroom and see how many people complain when a senior lawyer comes in argues, leaves and charges 3-4 lakhs. The problem with the human mind is we are very quick to criticise the other professions because we only understand the nuances of our own. We all struggle, whether a doctor, a lawyer or any other.
I am a lawyer and let me tell you we can go to the correct court, with the best drafted case ever and the judge simple doesn’t let us argue and gives a judgement in favour of the opposite party. Most of us try our best but there can never be a predictable outcome just like in a surgery. You can perform the most cookie cutter textbook surgery and still have a patient with complications.
Nobody has a monopoly over the judicial process not even the judges, there are all kind of problems like corruption and political pressure. Your idea of a new life is skewed too. People who are about to go to jail for years and somehow manage to get aquitted have a sense of a new life too. It saves them and their family from societal shame, retains them an earning member and what not. Lastly, your knowledge of what a contempt charge is and how it applies to you is incorrect.
